coming in above expectations, as you might have heard. 148,000 non-farm jobs added. let's get the first reaction from the white house. we want to welcome jason fuhrman to the show, the new chairman of of the president's council on economics. welcome to you. >> thank you for having me. >> walk me through. >> we've continued to see solid progress in the job market, 148,000 jobs this month, 43rd straight month of job growth, you've seen that unemployment rate coming pretty continuously down from 10% to 7.2% but there's no question we'd like to see private sector job growth strengthening at a time like this and there's no question that things like sequester, brinksmanship, all of that getting in the way of that

happening. >> any silver linings here? the 72, people are being less and less impressed with that number, kneeing what we know about participation. earnings up 3 cents that's correct not bad, is it? >> we got decent earnings. the participation was pretty flat, pretty clean, reduction in the unemployment rate the other thing about this report is this is now telling bus tus about the economy over a month ago. there's been a big policy change between this happening, which is the shutdown and brinksmanship over the debt limit. just as interesting is what october will be like. >> what does that mean? is this the time to be able to say, look, we're going to really get together, republicans and democrats, those who don't want to play please stop being a leader because you're not, is

this the so-called moment that we could rise above, which is the cnbc theme. it's very unusual for a news organization to try to get involved but someone has got to come in and say enough is enough! >> absolutely. this type of shutdown, brinksmanship, is bad for the economy. we want to do more than just not do the bad things. there's good things we can do, we can be investi jobs, in infrastructure, in education. we can be we forming our tax rates. the president is going to be urging them to really focus on job growth. >> you said there's been an indicator for the beginning of october. can you give us what your expectations are given the shutdown and the brinksmanship

you referred to. >> unemployment insurance claims are up about 50,000. and the job creation indicator was down a lot in the first two weeks of october and there's no question this brinksmanship is going to cost us a couple tenths on our growth rate in the first quarter and a decent number in october. >> when we get the october numbers, should we overlook it then as an aberration given everything you just mentioned? >> well, again, that next jobs number is going to also be delayed by a week because of the shutdown. this shutdown is going to have ramifications for months to come. it lab little bit of an aberration but we'd like to make it much more of one by not repeating those types of shutdowns, that type of brinksmanship and getting beyond this. so we have it in our power to

make sure that was just a one-time thing we're not repeating. >> i know this is a little bit out of your universe but take for example the president's address yesterday regarding the obama care web site. he comes out, there's a mea culpa about the web site and follows it up with another scolding of house republicans. doesn't he have some responsibility in turning down the rhetoric, in not following up another ordinary address with more talks of brinksmanship? >> you know, what the president is out there doing is he's urging congress to do its job and its job is a balanced budget. take business tax reform. there's a lot of agreement on how we can reform our business tax code. why can't we have a grand bargain on jobs that does that to create more jobs. those are the types of things that we can really be working together at a time like this and that's what the president is trying to figure out, you know, how to urge congress to do. >> jason, look, i got an idea, you don't even have to answer

it. i have a lot of ceos on from texas, from oklahoma, from colorado, people from north dakota. they need workers. what would happen if you just tried to help workers to get there? just an idea. they need workers because they don't have enough people to be involved with -- i'm going to use a curse word, it's called fossil fuels. what would happen if washington addressed this idea of the mismatch between not enough people and too many jobs? >> there's no question that you've actually seen a decline in some of the measures of econ we'd like more of that. when it comes to energy, certainly the president has been right out in front with an all of the above strategy and that's contributed to the real resurgence we've seen in oil and in gas. the united states is now the number one producer in the world, we're soon going to be at the point where our production exceeds our imports of oil. i very much agree with your

premise and the president does, too. we should be encouraging that production and we are. >> jason, thanks for your time. we're still going through some of the details of the jobs numbers. good to see you. dow is up 25. bob pisani is on the floor watching what's happening. >> happy tuesday, echb. we moved up on the future on that somewhat disappointing jobs report. the fed is going to be on hold for a long time, likely until march at least. barclays was out this morning saying they don't think it's at least until march before the fed moves here. meantime, on the earnings front, the trend continues, beating on earnings and flat to light on the revenue side. i looked at 21 large companies this morning. of those 21, three missed on earnings and it was only 14%

but, ten, almost half of them, missed on the revenue. take a look at united technologies. earnings beat was a penny, top line was light, they raised the low end of their earnings per share but lowered their revenue guidance. they talked about weakness in the military, aerospace market here. but there's a lot of strength in commercial aerospace, lockheed martin had great numbers. they did narrow their revenue guidance. raising or affirming that 2013 eps guidance and doing nothing on revenue is the big trend right now. they didn't change their revenue guidance at all. still the stock is up. there's a couple of exception out there to this trend but not many of them. tjx, retailers are struggling to meet their numbers. not tjx. they raised their outlook, boosted their comparable sales. they're just firing on all cylinders right now. and they said they'd achieved

10% to 13% earnings growth in the next several years. it just doesn't get any better than that across many different reasons. travelers, their numbers were tremendous this they beat on earnings by almost 10%. that is very hard for an insurance company to do. lexmark had a really notable beat on revenues. delta was also strong today. the airlines are continuing to report very, very good numbers. so this is going to be the big days, tuesday, wednesday and thursday. we'll see if those trends beating on the bottom line flat to light on the top line continues. david, back to you. >> thank you very much, bob pisani. one thing we didn't mention this morning, jcpenney, i'm watching the stock fall below market value. actually now it is up but it had

been below $2 billion. the stock had been down as much as 2.5% this morning before rebounding slightly. you know, not too much to share other than we're following it so closely. not because there are really that many concerns at this point about liquidity but because when you watch a stock price decline as appreciably and quickly as this, it presents obstacles that management might have in the future. i can tell you at this point that so many of the hedge funds that we were reporting on a couple of months ago was owning the stock, smart money guys, even though at the time i said they really didn't know very much more than you might expect. they're out. most of them at this point are out. of course, perry capital filed, but carl bass' heyman wouldn't

answer whether he was in or out. expectations are they have pared its stake significantly, uncertain about soros. you've had a lot of selling in the stock. that equity stock, the hopes that you'd get a new management team, that's hard to go there. >> i hated all the way down, got down to a level where i thought maybe they could do something and then they did that equity offering right in our faces, right in the face of all the people who didn't believe. why did they hope? because the company put out a release saying things were better. >> we talked about it. perhaps a bit of panic there by jcpenney in the decision to issue equity. they are close to getting a deal

with macy's over martha stewart, though they may end up in court seeking damages. ron johnson, the former ceo, having engineered that contentious agreement. i come back to that day where they did say things were better. >> i know. >> and bill ackman having sold his entire 18% position. he did that at twice the current stock price. >> maybe he put the money in new skins. >> roughly 50% down side from where he sold the stock. >> better he cut it better late than never. >> when we comeck, a lot more on the netflix juggernaut. also be sure to tune in tomorrow. cramer with the ceo of starbucks.

today, this is the supporting cast to the star, which is the employment data. back to you, kelly. >> great to see you, jim. let's bring in steve liesman for more perspective on the data, as well as the big jobs number. steve still feels weird talk about it on a tuesday and the report is weird as well. >> well, we have off tomorrow, don't we? i'm not coming in. >> i'm actually not. >> a 1.4%, up a half. i wonder if that's finally something that will help the third quarter growth. the other thing catching my attention is public spending up, but mostly we've had negative on public spending or very small positives. a big jump in manufacturing

also. that was up 10.7% in july, minus 0.1 in august. so bears watching. the jobs report really ultimately everybody saying it's a weak report, weak payrolls. nobody has anything really good to say about it. here are the numbers. 1. 148. my number was 158. revisions totaling 9,000. the august number was revised up to around 190 but the july number being revised down not very good. really an up-and-down pattern. you're not seeing anything that suggests there's any strength in growth, creating strength in jobs. here's some of the commentary that we got, "in one line, soft all around, tapering this year is off the agenda."

baricalli barclays -- and "the u.s. labor market has lost what little it had." private sector up only 1266. inside that a decent number for construction. retail up 21,000, finance down 2,000, leisure down 13 after many, many strong months and government up, don't get excited about that, that's all education, state and local. so the schedule is november 8th we get the report for october payrolls and the fed will meet before that. so any idea of them being on hold until at least they get clarity for at least a couple months makes sense. >> construction up 20,000,

having gone nowhere for six months. at least we're beginning to get leverage in construction. >> a report came out from fan e fannie mae's construction, we've been waiting for a pop and maybe now it's starting. >> we're up 89 points on the dow. stocks moving higher presumably because of this idea of the taper staying in for longer is perhaps bringing some buyers into the market. what does this report mean for investors in your view? >> the market is going to discount this report in the next couple of reports. we're looking forward what the focus is going to be on now, we know interest rates will be low

for the next flee to six months. this is the time to say defensive stocks have done really well, it's time to move on, look for companies that are going to grow, look for sectors that are going to grow, the cyclicals, the industrials. you'll have the three to six month period when rates won't grow and when they do -- >> people at the federal reserve will are concerned to hear what you're saying because you're talking about interest rating moving higher in the next six months or so. they've been trying to distinguish themselves between tapering -- i guess you're talking did market interest rates. >> exactly. it's not going to move because of the next couple of months because of the circus we had in congress.

we saw this happen six months ago. it's going to happen again. i think investors need to make sure they've positioned portfolios and not to say this is going to keep on growing. you have to be in pieces of the market. >> john, there is great concern over which confident has been hit beyond this stage and that will show up in the data moving toward. what are you saying to clients? increasingly you have this view we are dead locked, we lack leadership, people don't really believe, john, it would appear that next year is going to be better than this year. it's hard to find people who will tell you that. >> that's right. we need some spurt of growth. that might take the form of lower energy prices, that would be helpful. and let's not forget when the ten-year treasury yield averaged just under 2% and the first half of 2013, payrolls were growing

by 200,000 new jobs per month. in the third quarter the ten-year treasury yield moved sharply higher. what happened to jobs growth? averages only 129,000 new jobs per month. perhaps we need a return of that 2% ten-year treasury yield to get the type of growth this economy so badly needs. >> john, it's an extremely important and often overlooked point. isn't there a lag between the effec effects of it? you're saying it would be almost in realtime. >> we have dampened the views of those as far as employment is concerned. business sales haven't been that

great for a long period of time. and this combination of persistently sluggish business sales with higher interest rates and it doesn't make any sense perhaps discouraged a large number of businesses from adding employees. and that private sector jobs growth number for september was very discouraging, only 126,000 new jobs. >> sarat, let me just return to what you were talking about, what works now. we're reminded buy low, sell hi high. you say people should go to the industrials, the underperformer. oppenheimer says go for the internationals that are exposed,

3m, fedex, cummings. >> i mean consumer cyclicals, the autos, going to have top line growth. those are going to do well because the middle class is going to grow. on a valuation basis, those sectors are trading at lower multiple than the market. that's the opportunity where you want to sell high into the consumer staples and ults and i cyclicals, discretionaries, industrials. >> good to talk to you. thank you for your time. >> we are watching shares of netflix, pretty upbeat outlook. the ceo addressing the euphoria, in his words, surrounding the stock price on the company's conference call. >> every time i read a story about netflix is the highest preeshating stock and the s&p 500, it worries me because that was the exact headline we used

to see in 2003. up know, you can definitely we have a sense of momentum investors driving the stock price more than we might normally. there's not a lot we can do about it. >> we're gentlemen, good morning to you both. what do you make of a ceo coming out and saying the app priat wo? >> i have to say i share some of that sentiment. he used the word euphoria. the reason for a downgrade has

nothing to do with the execution on the company. all of the metrics were pretty much in line or better than expectations. what we're worried about is the valuation at this point and i think that's really the primary factor right now to a downgrade at this point. >> tony, if you agree with tuna, how long would you say the fundamentals have been detached from the stock? >> ild very long at all. i think the fundamentals are completely aligned. you can't look at this business on the near term numbers. you really have to think what can this company be? they're tracking toward this vision of a larger total addressable market. they can ultimately raise pricing and extract a lot of value out of the company. i actually think of netflix as like a serious 2.0 model right now. >> would you be disappointed to

see a secondary or second dilutive come along? >> look at how many subs they'd need to struggle with their operation. they'd have to lose 5 to 10 million subs. if you also take a look, this country has increased the amount spent on content 55% but raised their operator margins on the tuningsides. >> they did soften some of their targets, spreading out some of the way the pargets work in terms of their investment levels, long-term smart move for us we tend to kind of focus on the, you know, the near term horizon for the next 12 months and how do you project that over the next several years?

it's interesting because i actually revisited our dcf model just before i came on the show and we were very hard pressed to justify anywhere close to where the stock is trading at these levels. even under the most optimistic assumptions for subscriber growth. i think one of the things that have largely gone unnoticed is the beta of the stock has shot up in the last there's incremental risk equity to worry about. while the addressable market is potentially huge, i think a lot of that is already baked in the air. >> you did -- at this point there is no indication that such a pat is imminent but if they were to announce a major deal

with comcast, for example, clearly all bets are off. that would be a major catalyst. at this point i think there's probably still a lot of potential sticking points before you see that kind of deal come to fruition. the devil is always in the details and we'll have to wait and see. >> good discussion over a name that gets a lot of attention. tuna, tony, thank you very much. >> apple has erased more of its losses. find out what you can expect find out what you can expect from the

that's what ameriprise financial does. that's what they can do with you. ameriprise financial. more within reach.

you're looking at a live shot at the center for the arts. and apple is expected to hold a presentation there. rival microsoft has its surface 2 tablets going on sale today. we've seen these products before, haven't we? >> reporter: we have. but we're here at a microsoft kiosk in new york city where we have seen customers come in to

purchase a tablet. this is only one many venues offering the surface 2 tablet. they did launch last night where celebrities attended, though someone tweeted a stark contrast what we typically see outside an apple store when an iphone is released. microsoft only 0.7% of the tabb will the market. the selling point of the microsoft surface 2, up to 75%

longer battery life than the previous version. >> we should also mention that nokia, which is being bought by microsoft, has also today unveiled six new devices. nokia's first tablet is out that runs microsoft's operating system 8.1 and it's come out with a number of smartphone tablets, which are designed to compete more directly with samsung's galaxy. for more let's bring in jnp's manager. i'm not sure any longer we're at a situation where you would expect long cues for new products. there are now so many out there, so many of them are on a level playing field. you kind of think that people are more likely to go to best buy where they can see the entire range before they make a decision. >> yeah, that's true. but microsoft has never had the

power the way that -- with fans the way that apple does to get people to line up. we were at the event last night. here they had a big event at the microsoft store to unveil this around 10:00 p.m., midnight and there was hardly anyone there. they try to do this to get the attention on apple day and it seems sad actually. >> let's talk about the apple event this afternoon. what are we expecting? two new ipads? >> jnp isn't expecting people to get too excited. this is only 20% of the ipad story. we agree they're really not evolutionary story which. >> and the opportunity opening

up for apple, it canly china. >> i think if tim cook were here, he would say you guys on the market, you always want some great enough category. the innovation is always incremental. if we get a high definition ipad mini and thinner ipad, can't that at least stem the sales decline for you? >> i think so. you know, all of this talk about everyone -- yes, of course we b evolution that should come out today is not small. it max the ditpgs, quite different in just the same way the jump from the iphone 4s to the 5s is differentiating. the hardware is still lighter and faster and better camera and all all these things still make

the product quite attractive and a lot of growth to be had. >> apple says they sill have a lot of cover. what do you read into that? might there be another device here or service that they come out with and announce today? >> well, if we're lucky, we'll get a larger version ipad. if that's the hint of covering because that's really where microsoft is going, where their surface and surface pro tablets, trying to appeal to that enterprise user. that could be it that's coming up. i think what's really important for apple is the upcoming quarter around phones, we think the phones are good. we previewed apple favorably into that. >> we should just point out perhaps that the new nokia and the new surface both run windows

8.1, which is the same operating system on which microsoft has taken 700 million, $900 million writedown as a result of not selling them. so the 8.1 is not the great gift they hoped it would be. >> the competition for microsoft is not executing. the bad news for apple is it's got a growth multiple and it's not growing right now. for this stock to work, it needs a lot of inoccasion. that scenario where apple could have been a pioneer. for the moment, gentlemen, thank you. the other thing that we haven't mentioned is that deli is

advertising a $149 tablet. >> the marketing budget you need just just to break into the headlines when you're competing for apple, it's tough for a lot of these companies. >> it's been compared to a death strip and, no, it's apples's new planned headquarters in cupertino, california. the dow up 122. back in a minute. i've always tried to give it my best shot. these days i'm living with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. at first, i took warfarin, but i wondered, "could i up my game?" my doctor told me about eliquis. and three important reasons to take eliquis instead. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three... unlike warfarin, there's no routine blood testing.

[ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i've got three important reasons to up my game with eliquis.

welcome back. i'm sharon epperson with breaking news about natural gas. supplies for week ending october 11, up by 77 billion cubic feet. it is higher than the five-year average and higher than the injection that we saw this time a year ago. we searing as a result national guard gas prices under pressure. we hit a low of $3.61 right when the number came out. although we did see natural gas at a four-month high last week, around $3.85, that was factoring in the colder temperatures this week we're experiencing as fall sets in. milder temperatures are expected for the winter and they're

looking ahead that there is plenty of natural gas in storage and we're looking at natural gas prices as week speak that are at a two-week low. >> some relief perhaps in heating prices. the dow is down 111 points after the disappointing jobs report. art cashin joins us now. we're seeing the s&p 500 having one of its best years in a bond market, it tells you the market could have further to go. >> they are having an absolute champagne party in the bond market right now. i constantly make the point that a good broker and good trader has to be part detective. you have to put the pieces together. you can see when the data came out, the bond market went into full celebration mode, the yield is 2.55. it's weak enough -- the yields are soft enough it's having an impact on the dollar, too.

that has fallen. i think everybody is taking a celebratory mood that the stape may be june. >> june. plenty of people are saying march, kicked out from january or february. june? >> i think people are thinking it might be june. some of this data is going to be tainted for a while because of the shut down. you're going to have hopefully not the same face-off that you saw this time but you're going to still have some push and pull going into the end of the year and the beginning of january. there's i think a growing likelihood that maybe there's at least a 30% chance in june. >> isn't the danger that we assume the fed is going to do things that it may not do? we were here a couple of months ago and we haven't heard from yellen. we're assuming they will continue to pump all this excess cash into the economy. at some point that order of magnitude that they've got on their balance sheet becomes a problem. they may say we're not prepared

to paint ourselves into a corner for another -- we were talking about this on the show yesterday, for another half a trillion dollars. you talk about work of dr. lacy hunt, about the level of debt in society and about at what point that becomes counterproductive. >> if you look at it, the old analogy used to be pushing on a string, the fed trying to get the economy moving can do a lot of things, can get rates very loaf but it can't stir up the animal spirits needed to move things along. we've had just that frustration. there are studies out that indicate when the combination of private and public debt get up to around 260% of the gdp, it becomes almost look pushing on a string and we've seen that from i think it was the 1890s right up until the 1980s, gdp was moving at a 3.5, 3.7% and it's

been well below that and we're almost just above stall speed now with trillions of dollars. >> i saw mr. hunt present recently. it is an interesting theory saying dgp will continue to underperform historic averages. and the fed doesn't get it. >> if qe worked -- >> absolutely not. that's why you see that they're all talking about we'd like to get back from it. okay. why do they want to get back from it? because it's inflationary tinder lying about? they haven't done a great deal of harm. they've done no good but they haven't done a great deal of harm and i would suggest to you my comments about possibly june with kelly, you look at mr. fisher, who has been a destrikeout hawk on this and in his last statement said we may have to wait a little bit longer. if even the hawks are thinking

about waiting, they're worried about something. and that could be that our friends the china and the japanese have looked at a possible default, as ridiculous as it is, and said do i want to pack all my money into -- >> you have those comments coming out continuously now from the chinese, continuously. >> you'll see. we have some more next week. >> it will take a long time. they got a lot of our debt. they could do it over a long period of time. >> it's not about selling what they own. it's about not buying at the rate they buy. >> and they let it run off, too. >> if they stop buying and the fed reduces, who's there? that's what the problem for the fed is. >> pimco? >> jeff gundlach, he's ready. >> coming up, coach very close live following those results. we'll find out if this is just

the tip of the high end retail in trouble? we'll find out in a minute. u ne. to be this awesome. and you...rent from national. because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle... and go. you can even take a full-size or above, and still pay the mid-size price. (aaron) purrrfect. (vo) meee-ow, business pro. meee-ow. go national. go like a pro.

trust your instincts to make the call. to treat my low testosterone, my doctor and i went with axiron, the only underarm low t treatment. axiron can restore t levels to normal in about 2 weeks in most men. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18 or men with prostate or breast cancer. women, especially those who are or who may become pregnant and children should avoid contact where axiron is applied as unexpected signs of puberty in children or changes in body hair or increased acne in women may occur.

welcome back to "squawk on the street." shares of offshore and oil company transocean are getting a pop, own terring the s&p 5-- entering the s&p 500, taking the place of computer company dell. >> thank you, dom. >> coach to the down side after getting hit posting a smaller than expected revenue, saying sales were hit in north america

in particular. >> coach has struggled. we've talked about the strength of kors. what was it in particular in these figures that has resulted today in almost an 8% drop in these shares? >> you hit it on the head. there's really nothing new here. coach has been losing share to kors. we know that. there's a 32% spread between kors comps and coach comps. they basically said they're looking for comps to be down the rest of the year and that's taking into consideration that the compares get easier so that's a really tough outlook for the rest of the year. >> to broaden out the conversation a little bit, we're heading into a peculiar holiday season for retailers because it's clear there's a lot of pressure when we get more and more announcing they'll be open

on thanksgiving, when we have a coach struggling. at the same time there are other reports today, whirlpool to pick a name, doing good. so who do you buy here? >> i think it's very much this season a tale of two different sections of retailers here. while most retailers from macy's to kohl's, do you have some outliers here. you have tjx today, they said comps are better than expected and they're increasing their store plan. you have limited, victoria's secret that's performed extremely well and doing very well in europe and the footwear category, which is probably the most exciting category. if you wonder where the teen

spending is going, it's going to their feet. maybe footwear is the new handbag for this season. >> let's go back to coach to complete the conversation. is this company now in structural decline are you saying, or can it turn this around with a couple of seasons of great goods and it's a buy at $50? what is the view of that stock? >> they have a new designer in from a spanish high end retailer. it becomes more challenging to sell full-priced bags. and they've talked about coming more promotional. and lastly, they keep opening stores. if your comps are moving in the direction this company's are moving, see the writing on the wall and stop opening stores. i think the street would actually receive that very well

if they came to that realization. >> that's an interesting point. stacy widlitz with a look at the retail sector as we head into the holiday season. appreciate it. have a good one. >> thanks, guys. you, too. >> dom? >> watch shares of nokia, the finnish telecommunication company has spiked towards high, saying they've taken a stake in this company seizing the opportunity to find some value. those shares again spiking up toward session highs. the company activist hedge fund saying they saw an opportunity to find value and they like where they entered the division. watch nokia shares. >> they're entering because of a nokia that doesn't have the handsets anymore, a nokia networks? >> that's correct. they made the investment after they sold off the mobile handset

division to microsoft. that's a very good distinction to make there. >> keep an eye on netflix, which is down $40 from the open, now down about 2% after s&p did cut it to a sell after earnings last night. >> it might look like something from outer space but it is what the new apples headquarters will look like. how much does cupertino stand to benefit? the city's mayor will join us after the break.

take a look at an intra day of netflix. s&p capital did cut into a sell and there were the comments from reed hastings saying essentially our stock is caught in some euphoria. take a look at pandora, tesla, amazon. a lot of the names that cramer were just saying have seen a bit

of a tumble in the last have hour. >> you do have days like this. listen, it was a good -- by the way, most investors measure netflix as a very good quarter. if you want to look at anything related to value or a pe >> a quick point, it's weird timing this would happen right now, because we've learned, what, the jobs report, the fed will potentially be tapering, around march, june, and that's where the mo-mo comes from some of the names. maybe it's just profit-taking. >> apple will launch the new operating system, the maverick, this afternoon, which presumably has the pandora competitor in it, and everybody will be -- >> hit 385, almost 400 on netflix, you have guys happy to take money off the table. >> people wonder if icahn will come in, i still haven't sold a single share. >> yeah, i know, we'll see if he tweets. >> yes. meantime, the city of cupertino, california, building a new campus for apple.

it was a dream of steve jobs and is now set for completion in 2016. joining us this morning is the mayor of cupertino, california, orrin mahoning. good morning. >> good morning. good to be here. >> a long time coming. it looks like it will happen. how important is this to cupertino? >> well, it's incredibly important. as you noted steve jobs' last public appearance was before our city council about two years ago where he announced this would be built in cupertino, and since then, apple and cupertino have been working busily to make it a reality. it's an important project not just for the city but for the whole silicon valley. cupertino has a major investment with 9,000 employees, and it will get bigger. as i say, it's a lot of direct benefits to the city and to the valley, but a lot of indirect benefits, as well. >> yeah. obviously, a huge portion of the city's job base, a huge portion of the city's tax revenue.

what make of the architecture, mr. mayor, and what do you make of critics of the architecture? >> well, it's interesting. when we did the press conference and when we've talked to, you know, the architect, talking to the architects that put this together, you know, at some level, people think it was steve saying, i want this iconic building, a big, round building. but apparently, it is organic. it grew from the bottom-up with the purpose of the building, which is to bring the engineers together to work together. i think it's really interesting that all of the high-tech companies in the valley, facebook, google, apple, all are buil n engineers and other employees together to work together collaboratively, to build new products. >> mr. mayor, at the back of your mind, do you worry that you may be a one-town -- a one-company town? i think i read somewhere 40% of your employment comes from

apple. i went to espu, a small city outside of helsinki, and they made so many local millionaires, everything seemed so great. i imagine it looks different now after 40,000 redundancies. >> you know, if we have one company to rely on, apple is the right one. you know, it's not a fly-by-night dot-com, it's a $160 billion company. the reason they're putting 12,000 employees together is to keep innovating. i think they'll be here for a long while, and it really is not just one city in silicon valley. it's all of the cities working together. and business from one place will go to another place. so i'm not worried about it in the near term, and the near term is 20, 30 years. >> all right.

mr. mayor, i can't wait to see you when it's done. we should do a show from there. >> i think you should. orrin -- >> the groundbreaking. >> the mayor of cupertino -- >> the groundbreaking will be very soon. they're eager to get going, and a big step last week to get it approved by the council. and unanimously approved and a move forward with the project. we're excited, they're excited. it's a win-win for everybody. >> yeah. thank you so much for your time. orrin mahoney, the mayor of cupertino. keeping an eye on unusual movement in the euro-dollar futures, before the jobs number was released. eamon has all of the details. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, this comes from nanex. this is our tuesday morning market mystery. we don't know why this would have happened, but it appears to have happened in a bunch of different futures before that 8:30 a.m. release of the jobs

report today, on a tuesday. because of the government shutdown, we got it today. look at the moves they spotted, starting with december 2013 euro futures, and what you see is the movement on the left, at 8:29:59.500, the sharp jag up is about 500 milliseconds, or half a second before 8:30. the bright yellow line down the middle, that's 8:30 on the graph. if the information is released at 8:30, you would expect to see the futures start to move at 8:30, at the yellow line. you see some of the movements start to the left of that by half a second. a similar pattern here in december 2013 dallas futures. about a half-second move ahead. there you see the trade down at 500 milliseconds ahead of the hour, at 8:30 exactly, the red line. that's where the news would have been released. we're told by nanex,

$19.75 million in contracts in the dollar futures traded in that 500-millisecond period of time there. it's an unusual pattern. we'll have to look at it. no indication why this happened. it could be lucky guesses by some people, or it could be something else entirely, kelly. >> eamon a silly question, do we know all atomic clocks are the same, or could one be 500 milliseconds out? >> we know they're exactly the same to a time scale much smaller than 500 milliseconds. it's a pretty big move. bigger than a clock synchronization issue would be. >> eamon, really appreciate it. thank you. netflix shares pulling back after new highs. hastings said the euphoria surrounding the company stock reminds him of a similar period back in 2003, and that brings us to this morning's "squat on the tweet." what music is this? ♪

stock's breathtaking ride. greg rights brewster's millions. and a new strike, "october sky," netflix is the new rocket. >> depends on when they're looking at the bears. >> yes. >> the dow is down plus 50. >> and the nasdaq negative. >> yeah. a reversal here. here's what you missed if you were joining us earlier on. >> announcer: welcome to "squawk on the street." here's what's happened so far. >> we lurch from one event to another in this country every 90 to 120 days. it is not acceptable, regardless of whether you're a republican or a democrat. it just needs to stop, and they need to fix their business the way we're required by our shareholders to fix our business. >> september nonfarm payrolls increase by 148,000 jobs. the unemployment rate is 7.2%.

i think these numbers directly reflect our politicians. i really do. i think it's just dangerous to hire, dangerous to expand, in this country. not overseas. once again, coach is disappointing. and i have to tell you that i think this is maybe a failed play. i mean, if you want apparel, go with b.f. corp. [ bell sounds ] >> there's the opening bell. >> no question we like to see private-sector job growth strengthening at a time like this, and no question that sequester, brinksmanship, all of that getting in the way of that happening. you have to think what can this company be? and they're tracking towards this vision of a larger, total addressable market. if you believe the company has leverage, they can raise pricing and extract equity value out of the company. >> i think we will get new ipads, but we have to remember this is only 20% of the apple story. ipads right now are in decline. all of the things that people are buzzing about, which we agree about, are really not revolutionary to the story. they're going to be

evolutionary. good morning, we're live here at post 9 at the stork stock exchange, and we'll start with a check on the markets. we're seeing indexes off the highs. the index is up 50 points, the s&p 500 trying to make it nine out of ten sessions positive, after a disappointing jobs report from the month of september. tuesday, the nasdaq, the underperformer of the bunch, was briefly negative, now just slightly positive. shares of whirlpool are rallying this morning after third quarter earnings beat analysts' estimates. the appliance maker raised full-year forecast because of strong sales. and delta moving to the upside. the third quarter earnings and net profit topped analysts' estimates with revenue growing 6.7% year-on-year. the day of the tablet. microsoft releasing the surface 2 this morning, while apple is expected to reveal the latest

version of the ipad in a couple of hours. we'll look at both tablets. plus, it is jobs tuesday. the u.s. economy getting 148,000 jobs in september. it's a sign that hiring was slow ahead of the budget battles in washington. we'll get another read on jobs in a couple of weeks, but will the shutdown and the debt ceiling fight mean the numbers may look worse? also, orange is the new red for netflix. trading to the downside after a big rally this morning. where does netflix go from here? we'll go behind the numbers to get you the answers. a big day for tablets. in a little under two hours, apple is expected to unveil new versions of the ipad. and microsoft's new surface 2 tablet went on sale this morning. let's look now at both microsoft and apple. jon fortt is live for us outside the apple event in san francisco this morning, seema in new york, outside the kiosk. and let's begin with you, seema. are you seeing a pickup in foot traffic? are people interested in this

device? >> reporter: kelly, we've been here a couple of hour, and we've seen several customers stop by the microsoft kiosk in new york city, interested, wanting to learn more about the surface 2 tablet. we've seen some companies purchase the surface 2 tablet, and actually spoke to two customers who picked the purchase. nee full computer, so that's why i went for the surface pro, so it's not just a tablet where you're bound to some app store. it's a full pc, basically. >> i bought it because it has the digitized eye pen, and apple doesn't have the pen or these kinds of devices. >> reporter: now, there were some customers, while intrigued, they weren't interested in buying the surface because they had already invested in the apple ecosystem. one customer also mentioned that apple provides more apps than the microsoft ecosystem. in an effort to create a buzz around the surface 2 tablets,

microsoft hosted high-energy events last night, but it's not created a whole lot of buzz online, at least with social media. within the last 24 hours, microsoft surface has seen around 7,000 tweets and retweets, versus 31 tweets around the apple ipad. so tablet wars are definitely on. we'll continue to monitor the demand here and see if that continues to pick up. back over to you. >> seema, just real quick, is it steady traffic, or are people coming and going? >> reporter: it's increased just in the last 20 minutes, kelly. i really think that has to do with time. it's around the 11:00 a.m. hour. we're seeing more shoppers at the mall. it's picked up in the last 20 minutes. we'll see if that continues over time. >> all right, seema, thank you very much. monitoring the situation. let's flip things over to jon fortt, out in san francisco. 1 jon, it is interesting to see the news colliding on the same day. do you think microsoft will steal some of the apple

spotlight? >> reporter: probably not. it's not a fair fight. apple is so far ahead of the others now. look at the apple stock over the past year. they're getting close to break-even. despite being down with several others. there's a lot of talk about apple losing market share. i want to put that in perspective. last year, two ipad launches within the past year. this is the first time a holiday season ipad launch with a year's worth of pent-up demand. we'll have to see how that goes. we're expecting to see new ipads, sleeker design, faster chips today. maybe a cheaper ipad mini if they keep the older version around with the retina display. looking at the ipad, where it fits in the lineup. around 21% of revenue in fiscal 2012 for apple. the iphone, of course, the big seller. more than 50% of revenue coming from that. yesterday's ipad lineup, let's take a look at that, the mini at

329. ipad 2 largely selling into education-type markets at 399, and the retina display at 499. today, not exactly what we'll see, but it could be something like this. apple could keep around the non-retina mini dropping the price to maybe 279, and the rest of the lineup being similar to what it is today price-wise, faster speeds and feeds. the question is, can apple maintain the advantage they've had in profit share versus all of the rivals like amazon and microsoft trying to get into this market. guys, back to you. >> all right. we're getting down to the actual event here, jon. we'll see you in a little bit. jon fortt in san francisco. we want to bring in david trainer, and tom lesko owns about 28,000 shares. gentlemen, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> david, prior to going negative this morning, it was up for ten days in a row. it's only done that six times in three decades.

this is pattern recognition, isn't it? it tends to do this before the launch of a new device. >> that's right. apple, i think, is one of the great momentum stocks of all time. i think the fundamentals truly don't support the valuation. but, look, that doesn't matter. look, we've been in a momentum-driven market for almost a decade, i think. and apple is the popular stock, and they ride the tide of momentum until, whoops, it goes away. >> tim, what do you make of what they'll say today, and to jon's point about tablets, margin, share, are they doing it from a position of strength, or not? >> oh, i think they're certainly doing it from a position of strength. and i'll take a second to respond to the other guest. i don't think 13.5 times earnings momentum multiple. we think it trades at a reasonable multiple, in a business that's increasing the visibility and expanding on the mobile side and fundamental

side. >> sure. even when apple was trading as high as it was, it's never really been on the multiple. it's always been pretty conservative. clearly, there was something else that was behind the big move in the shares. maybe it was ownership, maybe just valuing it on a differe different -- looking at a different kind of metrics. so for you here, how do you justify if it's not just priced to earnings? what is the story for apple? is it innovation still? >> well, it's a combination of innovation and a really large install base. so you have a lot of people, i think jon fortt mentioned, a lot of people will be upgrading the tablets from tablet 1 to tablet 2, and also a refresh of the mini that i think people have been waiting for. apple has a strong product line into year end, particularly the christmas season. so certainly, momentum investors are involved. but there are also a lot of fundamental guys getting involved as you've had on your show, people like carl icahn. we're constructive on where apple is going, the ecosystem and the product line. >> david, some would say they've

crossed through the valley of death. we know what the first part of the year was like when they got into the 300s. we know icahn is putting pressure for balance sheet moves, and there could be a watch or television out there. isn't being -- isn't leaning too bearish risky here? >> you know, i don't think so. when you look at apple through the rearview mirror, yes, the profits have been high, the warchest is big. but the margin, they're losing competitive advantage. they're not innovating anymore, they're evolving. the competitors are twice as many as when they started and growing. the margins are sustainably high. they're barely getting on base, in my opinion. it's a large install base, yes. but it's getting smaller and the competitors are getting better. as i mentioned before, the current stock price implies around 150% return on capital, in perpetuity. no company in history has done that. and i think a return on capital

around 30%, 40%, puts them at maybe 300 bucks. >> yeah. that tends to be the metric that bears lean on. we'll see what happens in a little bit here. david, tim, thank you. >> thank you. >> intraday apple is interesting. they had a very brief, short decline around 11:00 a.m., around $500. some people on twitter called it a mini flash-crash. who knows what happened there? but the website, as we tend to see, before a new law enforcement, has gone dark. we'll be back as they start updating it for whatever we may see when the new are generally moving higher following the september jobs report, which came in below expectations. investors hoping it means federal reserve will stick around and not pull back on quantitative easing just yet. let's expand on this. geno joins us, former executive vice president at the new york fed. with us, as well, dean mackie, u.s. chief economist with barclays. guys, good morning. >> good morning. >> dean, let me kick things off with you, because i think you

summarized the mood of markets. you're looking for 200,000 on the jobs number, came in well shy of that, and as a result, you've pushed the taper call out to march. yes? >> that's right. we think that with the 143,000 average gain over the last three months, that's just not the kind of number the fed is looking for. we've heard fomc members200,000 job-growth numbers they want to see, and it looks like we won't get that soon. we're much more comfortable saying the fed is on hold, at least until march. >> geno, what this is now doing is spurring a conversation about whether quantitative easing can continue to work here. you look at some of the numbers on longer-term employment, the participation rate is not moving. is there a few that it's time for fiscal policy, if only it could take the reins here? >> so they have tried fiscal policy. remember in 2009, we had a huge fiscal stimulus, and then, at

that point, the private sector was depressed. and now, we have, if you will, the reverse, if the fiscal policy is a drag, and parts are improving. but net-net, growth of 2% now. 2.2% to be exact. four-plu 2, forward guidance, et cetera. so it does raise thest policies are and how effective they've been and how effective they'll be in the future. >> are you willing to guess what the economy would look like if we hadn't had it, if we hadn't been so flush? >> yeah, so certainly would have been -- would have grown less. that's the case. that's unequivocal. there's a point where people would be asking, what are the unintended consequences? what are the costs? are we getting closer to the point where more qe are equaling or exceeding the benefits of qe. it's hard to measure, but it's a question they'll be asking themselves. >> dean, when you look into the

report, it gets into structural unemployment in this country, does it not? if you're not getting payroll growth at 200, if you're not seeing some of the metrics improve, what does that imply in terms of what more or different kinds of policies should be adopted here? >> i think one of the things that we need to realize is that job growth is going to be a lot slower in this cycle, and it already has been, than in prior cycles. we think the key reason for that is the labor force participation rate is in a structural decline, in large part, because of the retirement of the baby boomers. that means you don't need as many jobs as you used to, to push the unemployment rate down. we think 75,000, 100,000 keeps the rate steady. even the 150 numbers aren't pushing the unemployment rate down. we think that will continue going forward. >> maybe different implications of whether the fed can exit as we're seeing it played out. dean and dino, thank you for your time. >> thank you. a major turnaround for netflix. the stock is in the red, off

aboutbett performers on the s&p 500. hey, dom. >> the energy sector overall, it's in the middle of the pack right now, but that doesn't take away from some of the great momentum stories for the e & p names. some of the companies that engage in exploration and production are hitting fresh 52-week highs. among them, familiar, independent name, ones not part of big energy conglomerates. eog resources up .50%. devon energy, up, as well, and

qep up the most after activist investors jana partners disclosed a 7.5% stake in the company, and is pushing for a breakup of the units. overall, carl, energy an important part. but the exploration and production names standing out. >> that's good. good to keep note of. thank you, dom. shares of netflix pulling back after hitting an all-time high earlier on today. netflix did report yesterday it surpassed hbo as the largest u.s. video subscription service. we want to take a more technical look, obviously what happened intraday to the stock, coming back to 339. dan fitzpatrick is president of mentor.com. dan, i assume you've seen what happened since the open. any explanation? >> yeah, carl, i think -- the stock -- when it bounced up this morning, when it gapped up as high as it did, it made it over 300% year-to-date, and that's a stock that just begs to be sold. i shorted it first thing in the morning, though i must, i have to tell you, i already covered

the short. the thing is, if we look at the weekly chart -- i think you have a chart there -- the weekly chart shows that the stock this morning extended 61% above the 200-day moving average. if you look back at 2011, it was -- it was a much lower extension. so what this really was this morning, when you look at the volume, it's tremendous and it's been downside volume, this was a stock that gapped up first thing in the morning, because typically a lot of retail traders are rushing to buy it, and then the professionals, they'll sell it all day long. and so, this is just coming back to revert to the mean. >> yeah. how -- i mean, i know you do technical analysis. >> yeah. >> how much -- how fair is it to compare the extensions given that was really the precursor the last time of the quick-stir debacle? >> well, it's kind of -- it's not a real fair comparison, frankly. the charts were different. that was really a fundamental

event where mr. hastings just -- you know, he just absolutely made a critical mistake. this is more of a function of buying and selli inin ining pre. where there was a buildup to earnings. buy the anticipation, sell the event. if you just think about it from a trading standpoint, if you had bought this stock yesterday, it gapped up so much this morning, why wouldn't you take those profits? and, also, and this is a real important point, the markets themselves, the s&p, is up at a point where it's just really struggling right now, sand it's due to roll over, as well. we really have one of the situations where a rising tide lifts all boats, but when that tide starts -- stops rising, then you're going to see a real pullback, as well. so that's really what we're seeing. nothing wrong with netflix. >> dan, just curious, as well, for your take, as the nasdaq is flat if not slightly lower this morning. it seems as though maybe collateral damage across mo-mo

name, whatever you want to call them, the high flyers. would there be any reason to link that to netflix, or does it suggest to you, as you indicated, it's maybe the broader index, seeing heaviness this morning? >> well, i think if you compare google, the price action on google, on friday, it gapped, and contrary to what netflix did, it gapped and ran. it had a big day from the opening bell all the way to the closing bell. yesterday, it kind of flattened out. now, today, what's happening to google? it's pulling back. and so, we do have some kind of a relationship where i think the momentum traders are looking at some of the big names 1, and they tend to be the nasdaq stocks. the momentum traders are looking at these names and saying, you know what, i think it's time to pull in our horns. they're taking profits. >> for any particular reason, why now, dan? we're getting headlines the taper may be pushed off till june in the views of some. why would a momentum trader get nervous at this point? >> well, because typically -- you know, the markets anticipate

these events. and when we saw, you know, what happened with the government shutdown, it was pretty obvious right away, in fact, bernanke -- mr. bernanke even said before then, that they were going to hold things off because of the potential problems with the government. so i think this -- a lot of this was just baked in. i don't now of anybody who was surprised by the fed saying that they were going to hold off the taper. so i really think that there was a big run-up. now that the news is out, you think about it, typically trading the headlines is the wrong thing to do. the market's really set up to where it hurts the most people in the deepest way pretty much every day, if all you're doing is trading according to the headlines. >> yeah. well, if today does mark the day some of the momentum players change their tune, this will be one to remember. dan, appreciate your insight. good to see you again. >> my pleasure, thank you. >> dan fitzpatrick. staying with netflix, reid hastings said last night the euphoria around the stock price

let's bring in bob pisani with a look at the big board. we are moving, that's for sure. >> there are sort of a lot of things moving around, and the analyst made some good points. my friend, said, what happened to apple? it dropped 15 points, and there's no news. welcome to the modern age of trading, folks, because that's what's going on. apple did indeed drop. there's a lot of news out there. obviously, we'll be talking about the ipads later today, but no immediate news out. i think the netflix issue was a good way to point, and i commend the analyst who was just on our show a few minutes ago. why was it up 9%, was the bigger

question. but the minute this happened here, the minute it dropped below the earlier morning's lows, the volume, unfortunately, you can't see it. right here, the volume picked up dramatically, and this thing headed south. this is a classic momentum trade. this is what happens when the machines get involved, one side offed trade, and they keep selling and selling and it moves down. this has knock-on effects on all of the momentum names. apple was one of the collateral. put up linkedin. it doesn't matter. any of the big momentum names you know about here. and there's the volume pickup. unfortunately, we should get volume charts, but you can see huge pickup in volume right there. again, the machines piling on, they sell, sell, sell, and move along with the momentum. they wanted stops, well, it stops wherever it does stop. put up facebook. i'll drag up 20 of the names. momentum names. same thing happened with all of the stocks at the same time. volume spikes moved down, and the machines pile onto the system. going into chinese internet

stocks. you want to see the momentum names? does this look familiar? virtually the same charts. the thing they have in common is big momentum names. put up sina, the same thing, big volume charts moving to the upside. all of this is what happens now in the modern trading. doesn't it make you nostalgic for bandits, remember them? if you do, you've been in the business too long. and coach. it has problems on a fundamental basis here. listen carefully. weak traffic in north america, they've had soft mall traffic overall. and they appear to be losing market share to competitors. competitors like michael kors or marc jacobs. we're at the lowest levels since april in coach right now. and i think that's probably a major issue. at least, we have some fundamentals here. but i'd stick with the idea that all of the names had in common was they're the big momentum names we talk about every day.

and all of a sudden, you pile on, the machines just pile on ahead of the trades, take advantage of that, the volume picks up. >> and as they go, perhaps goes the rest of the market. bob, thank you so much this morning. >> okay. aopening business on thanksgiving is the new black. kohl's joining macy's and jcpenney, trying to get a jump on the holiday shopping season. what does the extra sales time mean for the major retailers? we'll ask the ceo of vf corp. in just a moment.

states. they're really important businesses, and they're all fighting for consumer dollars that are hard to get at. and as a result of that, you know, they're going to open up on the evening of thanksgiving. and i think at the end of the day, american consumers will decide if that's something that they want to see. what that means for us, of course, is we sell to all of those people that you just mentioned, so our products will be in there and part of the activity. >> and i guess what i mean in terms of being a headwind, if there's any pressure to discount, to mark down the merchandise. you know, obviously -- i imagine they'd still be paying you full costs, full wholesale costs for the items. do you worry at all about pressure coming on, and about being able to hold your pricing? >> well, one of the other things we announced yesterday, kelly, is we are investing an additional $40 million in advertising behind our brand. ten million spent in the third quarter, additional 40 in the first quarter. we're going on any, digital, print, and get the consumers to

pay regular price, and we think that's a good way to go. we've tried it in the past, and it's worked very well for us. >> you also have the benefit, of course, of commodity cost, such a headache for retailers a couple of years ago, generally moving into the right direction. how much is that helping profit margins, and do you expect it to continue? >> well, we've had, you know, really strong growth margins this year, in the third quarter, as well. the gross margins up 90 basis points and we've been diligent about cost controls, and that was the source of the $40 million we had. we could have taken the earnings to a different level, but we chose to invest in the brand behind the future. we're not talking about product costs 2014, but we've been at this for 114 years. we're pretty good navigating through changes in product costs. >> eric, everybody argued the 4-for-1 was overdue, given the market float, does it really mean anything that someone can get in at 50 instead of 200? what's the advantage?

>> well, here's how we thought about it. and that is the debate, carl, and you're exactly right. as we talked about it, we said there's absolutely no downside to doing this, and there is a potential upside. we're very focused on -- we've had great run financially, and we think this is a big statement of our confidence in our ability to hit the 2017 plan, growing our company to $17 billion in revenue and $18 in earnings per share. we thought, well, this is a great way to make -- we would not have done this had we thought we were concerned about our five-year plan. we thought -- and in so doing, we would open our stock to some retail investors who are reluctant to pay a high price for a stock. >> yeah. >> so nothing but -- no downside and potential upside. >> eric, just a last word, because you have a lens into the consumer and we're void of data to some extent lately. what surprised you most about the quarter in terms of shopping behavior? >> actually, the quarter came out -- we grew our revenue 5% in

the third quarter. and that's right about what we thought. we actually had -- the original thinking was thick, so it was softer than we thought. but nothing dramatic. we're seeing across the globe, the first, second, third quarters of this year have played out, and we thought we'd grow 10% in the fourth quarter, and that's what we're aimed at. >> all right. we'll leave it there and see if you can achieve that goal. eric wiseman for us this morning. thank you so much. >> thank you. apple is expected to unveil a new ipad a little later on today. it's been more than three years since apple introduced the original ipad, and looking back, you might forget the reviews initially were mixed. if you originally got the smartphone, who will carry around a third machine? walt mossberg sounded a different tune, saying, i believe this beautiful new touch-screen device from apple has the potential to change portable computing, and the

the tablet wars are heating up with big events at apple and nokia. which new products have the potential to help or hurt your portfolio? plus, with stocks at all-time highs, we have one guest shouting buy bonds. wait until you hear the reasons. it's coming up on "the half." and we'll talk to dave rosenburg, reflect on the big article yesterday in "wall street journal," taking off the bear suit, at least partially. >> yes. a great piece, scott. thanks. we're a little over an hour away from the big unveil. apple is expected to launch new versions of the ipad today. apple store is down, as usual, as it always is before a big announcement. coming from the event, walt mossberg is the columnist for the "wall street journal" technology second. a pleasure to have you, as always. >> great to be here, carl. >> what's important today, walt? is it retina? is it weight? is it the cover? what are you looking for first? >> well, you know, i think what -- i think what i'm looking for is what i always look for --

and i know this sounds corny -- but what's good for users? what's going to be moving users ahead in the ability both to use tablets for, you know, consumption, but also productivity. and i think it's interesting at the iphone event, only about a month ago, apple made it clear, although they weren't talking about theism pad itself, they'd start making the productivity apps like -- sort of the microsoft office equivalent apps -- free, as well as their creativity apps for editing photos and videos. and i expect to see a continuation of that theme. ipads already are being used for a lot of business purposes and productivity, and i wouldn't be surprised to see them push that theme a little more today. >> walt, you know, people look at the year-over-year market share figures, and they say look how far android and samsung have come in tablets. >> yeah. >> but some of the buy

recommendations on apple say the android, samsung aggressiveness is beginning to slip. where are we in terms of apple's comeback, or the degree to which they protect market share? >> well, i mean, it's not a comeback. they've always led in tablets. they continue to lead in tablets. they have a lot of competition. and that's good for consumers. i can't -- you know, i can't figure out where some of the analysts get some of their points of view. but apple's job is to make money for shareholders. some of that involves market share. some of that involves margins. you guys know that kind of stuff better than i do. i'm looking at the products, and i think if they put a better screen on the ipad mini, which i personally think is actually more of the sweet spot for a lot of people in the tablet business, that kind of size, that will give them a boost, as long as they don't make it too thick and heavy, because that retina -- the retina screen adds

power drain and some weight. >> true. yeah, walt, from a consumer point of view, what do you think the main thing of the people who use the devices now -- whether apple or another product -- are looking for? is it something as simple as batdry life, or more of the product activities that you're talking about? >> i think boat, and it's a great question. let me talk about battery life. i run battery tests that are extremely harsh, and i run the exact same test on everyone's tablet, whether it's the microsoft surface or the google nexus, the samsung ones or the ipads. one of apple's big advantages is they are hours of battery life ahead of everybody else's tablet. whether it's the mini or the full-sized ipad. and apple needs -- these new models need to maintain that edge. because when you're carrying around a tablet, one reason you do it, instead of a laptop, is they have better battery life. it's a big edge for apple, particularly because they price higher than some of the competitors. and i think they need to make

sure they don't lose that battery life edge. in terms of productivity, they have about -- almost 400,000 apps that have been specifically written for tablet, which is way ahead of android. and some of them are game, and some of them are, you know, entertainment, all of that kind of stuff. cnbc probably has an app like that. >> oh, yes. >> but some of them are -- some of them are real business and productivity apps, companies like oracle and salesforce. these kinds of companies make apps for ios and apple. >> we found your initial review from the first ipad. i believe this has the potential to change portable computing profoundly and to challenge the primacy of the laptop. will that story continue as tablets improve? >> absolutely. and that's not just apple, but other people as well. i think it's already been proven

out. and what i said, a paragraph or two later, was this will depend on whether consumers find enough scenarios that they currently use their laptops for, that they would -- that they can use tablets for. and i think it's already proven out that there are so many scenarios that you grab your tablet for instead of your laptop, it has accounted for the decline in laptop sales. >> yeah. >> so we're already well under way on that trend, and that covers -- it's mostly been ipad, but, of course, it also covers android and things like the windows tablet that nokia released yesterday. >> walt, we'll see you in a little bit. thank you so much. walt mossberg. >> take care. >> joining us from the apple event today in san francisco. netflix has been a big mover in trading today. it's not the only one. companies like lockheed martin and coach are some of those making news on earnings. stay tuned, because "earnings squad" will break it all down for you in just a moment.

$79 billion order backlog, stuff that they have gotten orders for but haven't made or delivered yet. that's bullish for the company. remember, all of the defense contractors will be dealing with a lower revenue environment. it's going to be about maintaining the profit margins. >> but you know what's interesting? >> hmm? >> they didn't blame the government shutdown -- >> no, but they did comment and say they want them to fix their fiscal situation in a way that's not piecemeal. >> right, going forward. >> of course. looking at shares of coach, trading lower after releasing the first-quarter earnings, and a lot of negatives, especially off a weak fiscal fourth quarter, same-store sale, a drop of 6%. it also saw 7% inventory increase, so that's also really concerning. bright spot here, if there is one in this report, is china. because sales are up about 35%. they did open six new locations. but there is a real concern about share loss, not just of michael kors, the obvious one, but kate spade and torrey birch.

>> out in space, right? >> be wary. this is part of a multiyear transition. remember, they talked about the accessories business. >> and the moving the ceo position to another guy who will come in january. they say in the fourth quarter, it will be a fuller expression of coach. we don't know what that means. >> what does that mean ? >> and now, shareholders are abandoning the stock, because they want to see results here. we're watching shares of nuskin, and, herb, you like to follow the mlms, multilevel marketers. >> you know how i feel about multilevel marketers and there should be more oversight. this company's sales this quarter up 76%. the company effectively talking china is the big push. you need to understand china has been the place where a number of critics, sitron research, andrew luff, claiming the way they operate in china doesn't fit with the multilevel marketing

rules there. the company says this is hogwash, nothing to it. and i find it interesting, the company made a very big push in its earnings release about its new weight-loss product, which, of course, would be taking aim at the other big mlm company that -- >> which one is that? >> uhhh -- herbalife. >> yeah, starts with an h. >> a electric of a run, as it is with the multilevel marmers. you talk about mm. -- momentum. >> yeah, that's the earnings squad for this morning. tweet us @earningssquad. coming up, new york state comptroller says problems in washington will hurt wall street profits and new york state's coffers. he will explain why in a "first on cnbc" interview, and that is next.

[ female announcer ] today cisco is connecting the internet of everything. so everything works like never before. welcome back. wall street got off to a profitable start this year, but political gridlock in washington could cut into earnings and the coffers in the second half of 2013. on that note, thomas dinapoli joins us with a look at the figures.

first of all, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. nice to be with you. >> can you give me the sense, talk about the timing of the release. is the main concern to draw attention to how big finances is to the economy, or to highlight risks coming out of policies in washington? >> we do this report on an annual basis, because wall street's secure industry is so important to our city and our state, and we want to track the performance. it has an impact on the revenue, in very short order, the state budget will be coming out, and the revenues are an important consideration in that regard. we see the first half of the year being a strong year, estimated $10 billion in profits. but we project, as we go to the second half of the year, a weakening in the profit picture, probably in our forecasts, around $15 billion. so still a good year relative to other year, but we see factors weakening the profits of the street as we head to the end of the 2013. >> does this suggest to you that

new york needs to diversify away from financial services or new york needs to do more to protect financial services? >> well, probably a combination of the two. you know, certainly for the economy, the diversification is good. but wall street has been a very key driver of our economy, our city, and our state. so keeping new york as the national and global capital for finance is very, very key. keeping a close eye on the big trends out there that are hurting profitability, you know, certainly the impact of litigation costs and fines, changing interest rate environment, and the dysfunction that we just went through in washington and the threat that that could come back again, those factors are threats. but long term, we want the street to be healthy and strong. we want oversight to strike the right balance between protecting consumers and investing, and still -- investors, and still have the street make money for us. that's very important to new york's future. >> when goldman puts back-office operations in utah or florida, do you applaud that, because it

helps the profitability? or do you denounce it, because the jobs are leaving new york state? >> well, neither. you know, what i want to see is the street and all of the big firms to be -- continue to be well situated in new york state. it doesn't mean they're going to have every one of their employees or all of the operations located here. but it's very, very important that we keep a close eye on the fact that unlike other recessionary times where the street led the way in terms of growing employment, we have a different situation now. in fact, when you look at the employment levels, compared when the markets tank, we're down about 13%. so that's an area of concern for all of us. >> all right, thanks to thomas dinapoli this morning. we appreciate your time. >> thank you. apple event a few moments away. for that, we'll get back to headquarters and scott wapner and "the halftime." >> thank you so much. ragged retailer, coach, the latest stock to get hammered. is it time to throw in the towel on christmas? tablet wars with pcs getting

punked. which new device unveiled will be a winner for your money? we begin with the markets. another day, another high for the s&p. the fourth-straight day it's reached a record. how about this staggering stat? 80% of stocks in the index now up at least 10% this year. but it's a comment from the ceo of one of the stocks that got us thinking about where the overall market is. >> every time i read a story about netflix
